99-year lease India got independence on 99-year lease: BJP spokesperson makes bizarre claim
New Delhi/IBNS: In a bizarre claim, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) youth wing leader and spokesperson has said India's independence is not complete as it was given by the British on a 99-year lease.
Ruchi Pathak, who participated in a panel discussion on The Lallantop's Uttar Pradesh election show in Jhansi, said, "India got its independence on a 99-year lease. India is not completely free."
